Corneal endothelial cell density and corneal thickness after laser trabeculoplasty]

PURPOSE: The evaluation of the influence of laser trabeculoplasty on the corneal thickness and central endothelial cell density. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Corneal thickness and central endothelial cell density were measured before and 3 months after laser treatment. Patients were divided into 2 groups with different energy applied: 550-800 mW and 850-1100 mW. RESULTS: Differences of corneal thickness and central endothelial cell density were not statistically significant neither within nor between the groups. CONCLUSION: Laser trabeculoplasty performed with energy up to 1100 mW has no influence on corneal thickness and central endothelial cell density.
